This is the same request that mercurial-dev gets from people switching from subversion: &quot;I only want to check out a subdirectory, not the whole project!&quot; to which the common response is, &quot;You should rethink your &#39;project&#39; if you only want a subdirectory.&quot; Take a look at subrepos and subpaths:</div>

<div><br></div><div>For what it&#39;s worth, I never liked petsc-dev being in a different folder than petsc-3.x. It is not confusing to have them all like so:</div><div><br></div><div>petsc/petsc-3.1</div><div>petsc/petsc-dev</div>
